Eminem's Shady Records will celebrate "8 Mile" with a Nov. 8 screening at Detroit's Bel Air Luxury Cinema — 15 years to the day after the film bowed in the U.S.

Bel Air, then the Phoenix Theatre, also hosted the movie's Detroit premiere on Nov. 7, 2002, a chilly night that featured Eminem and director Curtis Hanson.

There's no word yet on an Eminem appearance at next month's showing, but he's donating all ticket proceeds to the Verses Project, a literacy endeavor by Detroit's Community Music School and Michigan State University previously supported by the rapper. Money will also be raised that night with special Shady Records concession packages.

The "8 Mile" showing will be at 7 p.m. Nov. 8 at Bel Air, 10100 E. 8 Mile, Detroit. Tickets are $8 and go on sale at noon Wednesday at ShadyRecords.com and the Bel Air website.

Eminem and Shady will also be offering a limited run of "8 Mile"-inspired merchandise, available on the label's site next month.

The semi-autobiographical film, set in 1995 Detroit, stars Eminem as aspiring rapper Jimmy (B-Rabbit) Smith making his way on the local hip-hop scene. The movie earned the best original song Oscar for "Lose Yourself."

An official "8 Mile" afterparty will be held the next night — Nov. 9 — at Saint Andrew's Hall, hosted by Bushman, the longtime WJLB-FM (97.9) personality who appeared in the film as himself. The event will feature rap battles and a performance by Detroit rapper Miz Korona, who also featured in the movie.

Saint Andrew's is upstairs from the Shelter, setting of Eminem's battle performances in "8 Mile." (The scenes were actually filmed at a warehouse on Chene Street.) General admission tickets are $20, and VIP packages including an "8 Mile" gift bag and poster are $50. A portion of afterparty proceeds will also go to the Verses Project.
